Orion has been tested on the following platforms:

  • Windows 95/98/NT/2000
  • Sparc Solaris
  • Linux
  • FreeBSD 4.x
  • AS/400
  • HP-UX (with classic vm)   Is the ones they tried, but I am sure there would be few problems with most any OS that supports java. So I am not sure where you got that from.     Granted, I will agree Web Logic has more features, but does not necessarily mean you need them all, for example their JMS implementation sucks.    Keep in mind Orion server was the first J2EE commercial product,   "Do not criticize someone until you walked a mile in their shoes, that way when you criticize them, you are a mile a way and have their shoes."
